Nichiren Daishonin asserts,
“Those who can take faith in the sutra . . .
are persons who have acquired
many blessings through actions
in the past.”(*)
With joy and appreciation in our hearts
for having encountered Buddhism,
let’s boldly engage in dialogue infused
with faith and conviction!

are always rooting for them and
watching over them becomes the
power that propels children’s growth.
Let’s spend this summer having many
parent-child conversations, listening
well to what our children have to say.
